[Oe List ...] 7/3/22 PHOTOS

Joe Pierce once talked about the purpose of the news conversation was not
to say either how bad life is or how  good life is. That being said, we
lived three years in a dwelling that had a palm leaf thatched roof and no
walls.  The dogs and chickens wandered through every note and then.

 Granted we did have a floor of loose river stones. When Mary Warren did an
HDP visit, she covered her head when she changed clothes so she would not
know if someone across the village center could see her.

Looking back, I would not judge it good or bad, as I sense none of the
previous stories do either. We did succeed in walking our talk some of the
time.

Then I remember how my high school friends were scandalized when I
described living in the Kemper building without individual bathrooms. I
know we could generate quite a thread about all the various toilets we have
survived.

What glorious lives we have lived.

Don
